A bold, regal work for both church services and recitals, 'A Jubilant March' is an intermediate level work that pays homage to one of the great 20th century organ composers, Leo Sowerby. The piece utilises exciting flourishes, rich harmonies and bold chords to create a work of great beauty and grandeur.

The present volume of 12 Motet Intabulations complements the 3 volumes .already published .with organ music by Heinrich Scheidemann (around 1595-1663), so that the complete organ oeuvre of the organist from Hamburg is now available in a modern editorial standard. From 1611-1614 Scheidemann studied with Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck in Amsterdam and from 1629 worked as an organist at St. Catherine's in Hamburg for about three and a half decades. He amalgamated the style of his teacher with North German tradition and is thus regarded as co-founder of the North German Organ School. For a long time, the skill to transfer vocal compositions into finger notation had been one of the main demands on a competently trained organist. At the beginning of the 17th century, however, the rather technical 'intabulation practice' faded into the background in favour of innovative forms of arrangement of the sacred cantus firmi. To Scheidemann belongs the credit for helping the genre tradition, which had unmistakably been in decline, to experience a late revival with his Motet Intabulations and for virtually erecting a glorious monument of excellent artistic quality to this type of composition &ndash. an important document in the history of organ music, and an interesting addition to the organ repertoire.

This is a meditative arrangement for organ of four Asian hymns from the New Century Hymnal: #72 TOKYO, #33 TŌA-SĪA, #333 SHENG EN, and #470 LE P'ING. The arrangement is perfect as a prelude or quiet meditation selection.

The Stars and Stripes Forever, composed by John Philip Sousa in 1896. It is the national march of the United States of America and probably Sousa's greatest composition. Here it is arranged from the score for organ with suggested registrations. This will be a fun addition to solo rep, or as a splashy encore.
